Autumn Season Don't waste the good time Decided to take the Sichuan-Tibet line in southern Anhui I also made some decisions. Open map Zoom in You can see the layers of hairpin bends It is worthy of being called Jiangnan Tianlu . 🚗Route Day 1 Self-drive in Hangzhou for 2.5 hours—Xuancheng (lunch)—West entrance of Sichuan-Tibet Highway in Southern Anhui—Moon Bay—Shuimo Tingxi—Taoling Liudao Bay—Hotel Day 2 Depart at 6:30 — Fallen Redwood Forest — Qinglong Bay — Moon Bay — Ningguo East Exit — Drive 2 hours to Hangzhou Why choose to enter from the west and exit from the east? Because the redwood forest is filled with morning mist in the early morning of November, you must get up early to see it. If you choose the west entrance, you can rest for a night at the Halfway Hotel and set out to the redwood forest early the next morning. . 🏠Live We arrived at the hotel at around 2:00 p.m. and finally decided on this one after careful selection. The room was very spacious, with a whole wall of floor-to-ceiling windows, which cured the fatigue of half a day's running around. The temperature in the mountains had started to drop by then, so we arrived at the restaurant in time for afternoon tea. The sunshine at four o'clock is beautiful, shining warmly in the backyard. I moved a chair and quietly enjoyed the leisure of the weekend. You can take a short walk in the nearby mountains. It gets dark around 5 o'clock. The hotel has a restaurant, which is a good place to experience the characteristics of Huizhou. . 🧾Itinerary Starting from downtown Hangzhou, it takes about three hours to reach the western entrance of the Southern Anhui Sichuan-Tibet Highway (you can navigate directly). It is recommended to have lunch before entering the mountains. Next, we will officially start our self-driving journey on the winding mountain road, passing Taoling Liudaowan along the way. Get up at six o'clock the next day and drive for about an hour to reach the Fallen Redwood Forest Scenic Area. The parking spaces in the scenic area are limited. It is strongly recommended to arrive before 8 o'clock in the morning, or stay in a homestay near the gate of the scenic area the night before. There is an outdoor viewing platform about 100 meters west of the Redwood Forest Scenic Area, which is an ideal drone shooting spot. The roads on the west side of the Sichuan-Tibet Highway in Southern Anhui are generally narrow, so you must pay attention to passing safety. The roads on the east side of the Sichuan-Tibet Highway in Southern Anhui are slightly wider than the west side, but there are more traffic jams. If time permits, try not to drive there on weekends or holidays. .

#passionpassport Shuimotingxi scenic spot is a beautiful place to go to for walking, swimming, fishing, exploring the water and mountains, trees, and doing some fun activities that you can find inside the scenic spot. We found a small cave, a lot of interesting plants and animals (frogs). You can see the clear water, amazing different shapes of stones, somehow slippery so be careful on your steps all the time. It’s just so relaxing to feel the breeze, be closer to the nature and just admiring it. Remember to wear comfortable shoes for walking and swimming on the water with stones ( we bought crocs on the street for 25rmb) It’s super comfy and reliable to wear around. #anhui#chinalife #summer #mountains

#passionpassport We decided to stay in a small kinda hotel and we found this Moon River Bay House. It’s a walking distance from the Moon River Bay, and the street where you can have food tripping at night. It has a nice rooftop, you can sit and relax. You can feel the breeze and enjoy the amazing Mountain View. It’s a good place for photography. You can do a photoshoot ( countryside like) of the landscape view of the mountains, trees and the whole village. From the balcony of the hotel you can also see the simple daily life of the locals. Like doing the laundry in the small stream , bay. #anhui #anhuitravel #china #chinalife

#passionpassport JINGXIA, Anhui Jing County isn’t that far from Hefei, just almost an hour and 2 mins by train, and a bus. You can also do a 3 hour drive from Hefei to Moon Bay. It’s absolutely worth trying, this is a place where you can feel the happiness, serenity , and peaceful life in the countryside. The Moon Bay is for free , no entrance fee and you can enjoy playing, swimming and relaxing time at the bay. It’s clean to swim at. There are also some activities you can do like rowing a boat or fishing little fish. The natural scenery is amazing, the mountains, clouds and moon at night seems like a beautiful painting. #chinalife #roadtrip #anhui #anhuitravel #mountain #mountainview #summervacation

DAY 1️⃣ ➢ First, Xuancheng is vast. The urban Xuanzhou District mainly features Jingting Mountain, but the real gems lie in its counties—Ningguo, Jixi, Jingde, and Jingxian—boasting Southern Anhui landscapes and culture rivaling Yixian and Shexian. Thus, exploring Xuancheng requires a car; only self-driving/rentals work. ➢ Second, the Southern Anhui "Tibetan Line" gets jammed during holidays, but Xuancheng shines even without it. My route covers ancient villages, museums, and landscapes, with endless layered mountains and lush greenery en route. ➢ Spend most of Day 1 driving. If renting a car at Xuancheng Station after a high-speed rail trip, grab a cup of Anhui’s local milk tea "Cawacca" 🥺. ➢ Then head to Longchuan in Jixi. Depending on time, stop by Kantou Ancient Village or Hu Village—both niche spots—before driving to Longchuan and staying nearby. DAY 2️⃣ ➢ Arrive at "Longchuan Village" by 7 AM today to dodge crowds. Fewer tourists mean better vibes. The ¥65 ticket is worth it for the "Hu Clan Ancestral Hall" and waterscapes. Fans of *The Great Ming Dynasty*? This is Hu Zongxian and his mentor’s hometown, with exquisite wood carvings. ➢ At noon, dash through "Jixi Museum" in Jixi town. Though small, its architecture intrigues. As the birthplace of Hui cuisine, the museum displays a replica feast; pick a nearby restaurant for lunch. ➢ Cool off at "Daixia Village"—rustic but sparkling with gorgeous, relaxing streams. Perfect for a dip. ➢ Time it right: reach "Luxi Village Tea Plantation" by 4 PM. This hidden aerial tea farm lets you drive up. By then, locals leave, making sunset strolls serene. Stay overnight in Jingde town. DAY 3️⃣ ➢ Morning drive to Jingxian’s "Huangtian Village" (¥50). It feels like a hidden *Peach Blossom Spring*, blending old/new homes with nature. A must for Hui-style village lovers. ➢ Next, "Xuan Paper Cultural Park" (¥60)—the trip’s busiest spot. Hongxing Xuan Paper Factory (maker of luxury "thousand-dollar paper") built this museum showcasing xuan paper craft. Stunning architecture, but packed in peak season; visit off-hours for photos. ➢ Proceed to "Zhaji Ancient Town" (¥65). More commercialized than before, which is a letdown, and crowded in peak season. Yet, its deeper alleys retain charm. ➢ End the day by driving straight to Taohuatan in Jingxian for overnight stay. DAY 4️⃣ ➢ Rise early for "Taohuatan (Peach Blossom Pool)". Weather-dependent, but I hit the jackpot—misty drizzle and drifting clouds made it surreal. Spent the whole morning there; the trip’s highlight. Five stars 👍. ➢ Head home.

## Travel Notes of a Parent-Child Journey at HuaZhu Jingxian Yishu Tea Garden As the morning mist lingered, our car wound through the emerald layers of Caicun Village. Distant mountains stood like ink washes, the murmur of a stream faintly audible, while bamboo groves in Moon Bay swayed gently in the haze. Stepping into Yishu Tea Garden's ancient courtyard, bamboo-scented breezes swept through the hall as tea steam began to rise. Morning dew on the stone path dampened our shoes, yet the children noticed nothing, their bright eyes fixed on the lanterns bearing the character "tea" hanging from the eaves—their gazes alight with discovery. Thus began a journey to meet the soul of tea. --- ### Between Bud and Leaf: First Steps in the Tea Mountains Following our guide into the hillside tea fields, waves of green rolled toward us. The children tied on canvas aprons and grasped bamboo baskets, instantly transforming into "little tea farmers." When my daughter's fingers first touched the tender, curled buds, she held her breath: "Mom, the tea leaves are breathing!" The guide bent down and whispered, "Each bud and leaf is a life." The children nodded with partial understanding, their small hands already learning to move gently among the stems, plucking only the freshest tips. The dew was cool, the earth soft, and sweat trickled unnoticed from their brows as the tea leaves in their baskets responded to this earnest, if clumsy, labor with their delicate fragrance. --- ### Tempered by Fire: From Leaf to Cup Returning with our harvest, the iron wok in the tea garden stood ready. The guide demonstrated the "kill-green" technique, and the children gathered on tiptoe, watching the leaves dance and curl in the heat, their aroma filling the room. My son was allowed to stir a handful under the guide's guidance, exclaiming, "It's like tickling the tea!" After the leaves rested on bamboo trays, the children sat cross-legged to learn the ancient art of rolling—tea juice staining their fingers, the scent seeping into their clothes. Finally, when the tea they had picked and processed unfurled in their cups, my daughter held hers to my lips: "Mom, smell this—it's Moon Bay in spring." In that clear infusion lay mountain breezes, morning mist, and the eager warmth of childhood. --- ### Ancient Rituals, New Lessons: Quiet Growth at the Tea Table The tearoom was serene, the long table dark as ink. As the guide poured water with cloudlike grace, the children mimicked warming cups, measuring leaves, and raising the pot high—their expressions uncharacteristically solemn. "Courtesy, discipline, calmness, clarity"—the guide distilled the eight tenets of tea ceremony into childlike terms: offering a cup with both hands at eyebrow level was "respect"; sipping in silence was "stillness"; savoring the aftertaste like a forest on the tongue was "purity." When my son presented his first brew to me, his small hands trembled, but his gaze was steady. Outside, bamboo shadows swayed; inside, steam swirled. The cups reflected both centuries of tea tradition and the young faces before us—and I realized with a start that **the seeds of tea ceremony had taken root in their hearts with the sound of pouring water**. --- ### Lingering Notes: Growth Forged by Culture As we departed, the children clutched handmade tea sachets and leaf rubbings, their bags heavy with gifts from the landscape. On the road home, my daughter suddenly asked, "Will the tea plants remember we picked their leaves next year?" I smiled—this question was the trip's most precious echo. Jingxian had used tea as a vessel to carry the children upstream through culture: teaching reverence for nature during harvesting, patience and craft in processing, and the dignity of ritual when serving. True study, it seemed, wasn't about imparting knowledge but awakening cultural memory through bamboo baskets, warm woks, and the traces left in clay cups. --- At dusk, as the tea garden's walls glowed pink, we bid farewell. Looking back, Yishu's lanterns flickered to life like warm stars against the dark mountains. That night, the children murmured "bud and leaf" in their sleep, while I traced the clumsy veins on their leaf rubbings—reminded that **tradition is simply letting ancient tea souls anchor in childish palms**, then seeing the world's green depths anew through their eyes. Jingxian's tea fragrance may fade with the wind, but the quiet cultivated at that table will flow on like Moon Bay's stream, forever echoing in the heart's valley.
